The computer tech list I refered to is the K-12 Linux Terminal Server Developers List. Discussion is 90% about the development, testing and support of the K-12LTSP system, a network Linux system designed for use in schools. Since these people do computer tech for schools all over the world, they tend to have lots of info on computer systems to do just about anything you would want done in a school setting, with a strong bias to using free / open source software. If you use Linux in your school, this is a list you want to be on.

I suppose it could be carrier frequency, but the symptoms described didn't seem to point to that. The noise, while annoying, especially to the sound guys, isn't usually that loud, and the volume, in my experience usually stays the same whatever the speed of the motor. Admittedly, I've seldom had a problem with carrier frequency noise. On the GS2 drives the carrier frequency parameter is 2.08 and is factory set to the highest frequency of 12 KHz. Lowering it may help--or it may bring the frequencies into an even more audible range. Usually a higher number is better as far as audible noise is concerned. But, like I said, you can easily check to see if it is a problem with the drive or the motor by plugging the motor directly into the line and see if it still makes noise. If not, it's the drive (or the relationship of the motor and the drive). If it still makes noise, pull the gearbox off and try it again. (Uh . . . don't pull the gearbox off if you're are using an SEW Eurodrive integral gear motor. It's messy.)

The students enter their own hours and each entry is signed off by a shop = grad student or staff member. One of my office graduate assistants is tasked with the weekly data entry from the logbooks into the master spreadsheet = in my office. After he enters the data, he highlights the entry so that changes are quite apparent. Late entries are also apparent because they = are not highlighted. If a student makes a late entry and highlights it = himself, it doesn=92t help because the data was not entered. So far, this system = seems to be reasonable fraud-free. I have a macro on the spreadsheet that = prints a status sheet of everyone's hours each week, and it is posted on my bulletin board. This summer, I am working with the One Card Office to see if we can sign = in and sign out with their student ID card. They use them that way in the computer labs - I am sure we can come up with something cool to do with = them in the shops. It will just take a card reader and some programming = time. We do try to maintain a reasonable amount of security on this process because we treat attendance at our lab calls with the same seriousness = as "real world" calls to try and emphasize to the students the importance = of reliability once they graduate. To that end, if they call in 24 hours before the call with a legitimate reason, they are excused, but they = still owe the hours they missed. If the just do not show, they owe back = double the hours they missed. God help them if they miss a scheduled strike, = as they have to repeat the missed strike, and get 12 more hours added to = the their regular lab hours for the semester. The spreadsheet tracks all of this info. Their lighting crews and scenery crews run that way, but just like the = real world, the running crew calls are more to the tune of "be there or = don=92t bother coming back."

We used so much liquid N2 at a couple of companies I worked at that we made our own (big refrigeration tower out back) and piped all through the building. We used gloves when handling cold metal, but tried to avoid them when pouring. Yes, some spilled on your hand will dance like water on a hot fry pan with no harm. Some spilled down into a glove is bad news. Even worse, never have two valves in a line. If you close both, the line between them WILL explode. We had a fire inspection once where the fire marshal freaked when he saw pipes all over with fog coming off them. He was convinced these were leaking "gas" pipes and just about evacuated the building. It took some time to convince him that they weren't leaking and nitrogen doesn't burn even if it was leaking. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:40:21 -0400 Subject: Re: Because in space.....etc...etc...

The riders decided that we'd only hit y'all up once a month before the ride. That way we wouldn't tie up bandwidth, get you angry at us and force you into donatus interruptus. June is my month. So, yeah, this is the third annual event. We have had lots of fun and, as I'm sure you all are aware of by now, it's for 2 very good causes. You can check out the two on the website I wanted to call your attention to a couple of things you may not know... 1) The riders pay their own way. Yes, this is their vacation time and they are donating it to the cause, so they pay all of their own expenses. Don't feel too sad for them though as we are all having a very good time. 2) We accept any dollar amount and in any currency. You will notice that the website lists the donors alphabetically, not by the amount they sent in. We do it this way because we know that a $25 donation from someone who doesn't have all that much to begin with can mean the same, or more, than someone making a $250 donation that does have the resources. 3) You will once again be able to follow us on our trip via the photo diary on the website. I've been told that folks get a kick out of it so we're going to continue doing it. So. To those of you that have sent in donations, you have my deepest thanks. As for the rest of you, if you can afford to send in something, no matter how much, we would greatly appreciate it. It will go a long way to help those in need. By the way, if you live near or along our route, and especially if you are in one of the towns where we're stopping for the night, we'd love to see you. Give me a shout for details and coordination. For all of the info...how to donate...pictures of the cast and crew, the route and schedule, please head on over to the website The ride starts July 9th. Thanks Be well Bill S.
